Spatially aggregated data and variables in empirical analysis and model building for economics

No authors available

Publication Name: CyberGeo

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume: 2004

Issue:

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

A short review of the importance of spatial aggregation problem in general and specially in economics is followed by a typology of spatial analysis and statistical data from spatial aggregation viewpoint. The modifiable areal unit problem is divided into two parts. There are the scale and the zoning system effects, which are illustrated using Hungarian data. Spatial data aggregation creates the need for investigating the connection between the theory and data as well as the micro-macro dualism.

Codes in the codons: Construction of a codon/amino acid periodic table and a study of the nature of specific nucleic acid - Protein interactions

No authors available

Publication Name: Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology - Proceedings

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume: 26 IV

Issue:

Page Range: 2860-2863

Description:

The theory of "codon-amino acid coevolution" was first proposed by Woese in 1967. It suggests that there is a stereochemical matching - that is, affinity - between amino acids and certain of the base triplet sequences that code for those amino acids. We have constructed a Common Periodic Table of Codons and Amino Acids, where the Nucleic Acid Table showed perfect axial symmetry for codons and the corresponding Amino Acid Table also displayed periodicity regarding the biochemical properties (charge and hydrophobicity) of the 20 amino acids and the position of the stop signals. The Table indicates that the middle (2nd) amino acid in the codon has a prominent role in determining some of the structural features of the amino acids. The possibility that physical contact between codons and amino acids might exist was tested on restriction enzymes. Many recognition site-like sequences were found in the coding sequences of these enzymes and as many as 73 examples of codon - amino acid co-location were observed in the 7 known 3D structures (December 2003) of endonuclease-nucleic acid complexes. These results indicate that the smallest possible units of specific nucleic acid - protein interaction are indeed the stereochemically compatible codons and amino acids.

Filtering and contrast enhancement on subtracted direct digital angiograms

No authors available

Publication Name: Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology - Proceedings

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume: 26 II

Issue:

Page Range: 1533-1536

Description:

This paper presents the results of a research related to medical image subtraction algorithms. The selected area is of direct digital X-Ray angiography, where subtraction algorithms are the basis of most acquisition and reviewing protocols. The goal of this research is to analyze the currently existing image subtraction algorithms and to propose a new approach based on the experienced limitations, respectively to develop a new imaging technique that allows both contrast agent and radiation dose reduction. The enhancement of the subtraction algorithms is targeted by two means: a) noise reduction on image frames, b) identification of contrast agent injected regions. Both aspects will be studied based on the analysis of the spatio-temporal signal variation that image pixel intensities represent, therefore the resulting algorithm can not be used real time during image acquisition, but as a post processing technique during review. The temporal variation of pixel intensities was then analyzed and a patter check was followed to identify pixels being part of a contrast agent injected region. This information was used to highlight regions of interest and to increase the contrast in poorly injected areas.

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume: 3

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1661-1666

Description:

3D reconstruction plays a very important role in computer vision. The determination of the 3D model from multiple images is of key importance. In this paper a 3D reconstruction algorithm is introduced, which is capable to determine the 3D model without any external intervention.

Logic testing of CMOS structures

No authors available

Publication Name: ICCC 2004 - Second IEEE International Conference on Computational Cybernetics, Proceedings

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume:

Issue:

Page Range: 59-64

Description:

The paper presents a test calculation principle which serves for producing tests of switch-level logic faults in CMOS digital circuits. The considered fault model includes stuck-at-0/1 logic faults on the connecting lines, as well as switch faults in the transistors. Both single and multiple faults are included. The transistor faults manifest themselves in stuck open (open circuit) and stuck short (short circuit) behavior. In this paper only combinational logic circuits are taken into consideration. The calculation principle is comparatively simple. It is based only on successive line-value justification, and it yields an opportunity to be realized by an efficient computer program. ©2004 IEEE.

Slewing of rubber-sprung wheels with railway vechiles

No authors available

Publication Name: Proceedings of the Mini Conference on Vehicle System Dynamics, Identification and Anomalies

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume:

Issue:

Page Range: 171-175

Description:

The slewing of railway vehicle's rubber-spring wheel means that the wheel has an elastic and plastic change in angle relative to the wheel frame. This study has the objective to explore the evolution and the causes for these angle changes both in laboratory environment and also during the running of the vehicle.

Estimating fuzzy membership functions parameters by the levenberg-marquardt algorithm

János Botzheim Cristiano L. Cabrita António E. Ruano Laszlo T. Koczy

Publication Name: IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2004-12-01

Volume: 3

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1667-1672

Description:

In previous papers from the authors fuzzy model identification methods were discussed. The bacterial algorithm for extracting fuzzy rule base from a training set was presented. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was also proposed for determining membership functions in fuzzy systems. In this paper the Levenberg-Marquardt technique is improved to optimise the membership functions in the fuzzy rules without Ruspini-partition. The class of membership functions investigated is the trapezoidal one as it is general enough and widely used. The method can be easily extended to arbitrary piecewise linear functions as well.
